02 Feb 2019 (Magnus Greel)
Mid evening not as busy as our last visit pre Christmas, we shared a table at the rear of the pub with a chap watching the rugby on his phone.

08 Dec 2018 (Magnus Greel)
Late afternoon to mid evening very busy with many folk coming and going, we waitied patiently supping at the bar until a table became available. Once seated we stayed far longer than planned chatting to fellow beer enthusiasts this place attracts.
Siren Craft - Broken Dream Breakfast Stout | 6.50 | | I fancied a pint of tarmac after all that tropical citrus so teased by a taster I had a pint 'for the road'. Bitter coffee, toasted grains and brown sugar with a creamy smooth texture - nice! |
Siren Craft - Yu Lu | 3.60 | | Another light refreshing zesty beer ticked all my boxes thus alternated between the two |
Five Points - Pale | 4.40 | | Citrus malty and grainy with a dry bitter finish |
Five Points - Hook Island Red | 6.00 | Not Tried | |
Hobsons - Champion Mild | 3.20 | Not Tried | |

During the early evening rush.
Acorn - Old Moor Porter | 4.40 | | A proper, black Porter. Really good chocolate, fruit and hop flavours. |
Pressure Drop - Street Porter | 4.50 | | From key-keg and nowadays brewed to 6.5%. Pretty fine. |
Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Steam Effort (Fuller's & Friends collaboration with Redemption) | 4.50 | | Seemingly now brewed at Fullers rather than at Redemption. Clear gold in colour. This has a full, almost creamy mouthfeel coupled with bitter hop flavours. Very nice. |
Acorn - Barnsley Gold | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
Siren Craft - Yu Lu | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
